Sand / Shell Artist
Jingle shells are named as such because of the sound they make. I’m always amazed at how strong and resilient they are even though they look so delicate. The colors of these shells are amazing components for shell art to liven up coastal decor/interiors. They are slightly iridescent which gives it an ethereal quality. I hope to be incorporating more of these colorful shells to my art.
As a shell artist, I’m always looking for new ways to present seashells in my art so it’s different from traditional practices. Check out more of my shell art available for sale at my website link in bio. I take commissions as well if you have a special project in mind.

From a single seashell tower to King Triton’s castle 🐚🏰
What started as one small shell structure grew into an entire underwater kingdom inspired by Disney’s The Little Mermaid. Built entirely from hand-placed seashells and sand, this sculpture took shape one shell at a time, guided by a hand-drawn blueprint and countless hours of planning.
Swipe through to see the process—from the earliest sketches and shell placement to the castle in progress. Every tower, archway, and coral detail was carefully constructed using sustainably collected seashells and my proprietary sand-hardening technique, transforming beach finds into permanent wall art.
As a mixed-media artist, I’m fascinated by the way natural materials can tell stories. This piece combines coastal art, seashell sculpture, sand art, and Disney-inspired creativity to bring King Triton’s castle to life.

Coastal art made with only sand and seashells. This super easy and meditative art process brings you right back to the beach. No glue, tape or resin. Simply press the shells into the sand and let it dry for two days. Mess free and a lot of coastal charm. No experience required and perfect for all age crafters.
